Grilled Herb-Crusted Lamb Rack with Citrus-Roasted Vegetables & Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Allergens

None (can substitute coconut milk for dairy-sensitive individuals)

Ingredients

• 1 lamb rack (8 bones) 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped 1/2 cup fresh rosemary, finely chopped 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground 3 tablespoons olive oil 4 cups assorted seasonal vegetables (e.g., carrots, zucchini, bell peppers) 1 cup fresh orange juice 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed 1/4 cup grass
• fed butter or ghee 1/2 cup full
• fat coconut milk Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). In a food processor, combine garlic, parsley, rosemary, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until well combined. Pat the lamb rack dry with paper towels. Coat it evenly with the herb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Set aside. In a large bowl, toss vegetables with olive oil and orange juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place the lamb rack on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Roast the vegetables for 20 minutes. Add the lamb rack to the oven and roast it alongside the vegetables for an additional 35 40 minutes or until desired doneness is reached (rare: 125°F or medium: 130 135°F internal temperature). Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Boil cubed sweet potatoes in a pot of salted water until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and return to the pot. Add butter or ghee and coconut milk mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the lamb rack into individual chops. Serve immediately with roasted vegetables and mashed sweet potatoes.

Chef’s Insight

Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness for your preference. Resting the lamb allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful result.

Notes

Ensure your herbs are finely chopped to easily adhere to the lamb rack. Use grass-fed butter or ghee for a richer flavor and authentic Paleo experience.
